CURTAIN RODS

[Basementgeek]

On the first day after his divorce, he sadly packed his belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases.

On the second day, he had the movers come and collect his things.

On the third day, he sat down for the  last  time at their beautiful dining-room table, by candle-light; he put  on  some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of  shrimp, a jar of  caviar, a bottle of spring-water, 3 cans of  sardines.

When he'd  finished, he went into each and  every room and deposited a few half-eaten  shrimps dipped in caviar, and some sardines into the hollow center of the curtain rods.

He then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

On the fourth day, the wife came back with her  new boyfriend, and at first all was bliss.

Then,  slowly, the house began to smell.


They  tried everything; cleaning, mopping, and airing-out the  place.  Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were  steam cleaned.

Air fresheners were hung everywhere.  Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during  which time the two had to move out for a few days, and in the end  they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing  worked!People stopped coming over to visit.

Repairmen  refused to work in the house.The maid quit.

Finally, they  couldn't take the stench any longer, and decided they had to move,  but a month later - even though they'd cut their price in half -  they couldn't find a buyer for such a stinky house.

Word  got out, and eventually even the local realtors refused to return  their calls.

Finally, unable to wait any longer for a  purchaser, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to  purchase a new place.

Then the ex called the woman and  asked how things were going. She told him the saga of the rotting  house. He listened politely and said that he missed his old home  terribly and would be willing to reduce his divorce settlement in  exchange for having the house.

Knowing he could have no  idea how bad the smell really was, she agreed on a price that was  only 1/10 nth of what the house had been worth ... but only if he  would sign the papers that very day.

He agreed, and within  two hours her lawyers delivered the completed paperwork.

A  week later the woman and her boyfriend stood smiling as they  watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new  home ......


and to  spite the ex-husband, they even took the curtain  rods!


I  LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?
